WS100 is one big lottery!
Well it is today anyway. The entries lottery draw for next year’s Western States 100 closes at 11.59 on the 15th (Thursday). Were thinking that this is US eastern time (?), so you have got ‘til about 4am on Friday if you are in Europe!
This year’s race saw GB’s Jez Bragg run into a superb third place, and it appears to be one of the must dos for any ultra-trailer. Writing on his blog Jez states:
So far over 1,300 people have signed up. They haven’t announced how many slots are available through the lottery, but the total number will be c.400, which includes all the guaranteed entrants such as those who have missed out on the lottery two years running, top 10 male and female runner from 2009, plus a handful of others. The message is, there is only small chance of getting in, so why not just try your luck and go for it if you succeed?
All I can say is that it is an incredible race and surely the best ultra race experience going?
